It's Non-Binary People's Day!

We value and respect the variety, tenacity, and accomplishments of all non-binary people. Together, let's make the world a more accepting place where gender identity is respected everywhere.

People who identify as non-binary have always existed, both historically and culturally. Their identities and experiences are real and deserving of respect. Today, we amplify their voice and pledge to fight alongside for their freedoms, since it's our freedom as well.

Pronouns Matter.

We planned to publish this on the International Pronouns Day, but we had connectivity issues. We are very sorry for the delay.

We respect each pronoun and think they are an integral part of identity for each person.

Let’s normalize using and declaring them.

Together we can value and acknowledge the importance of affirming people’s identities and spaces where everyone feels seen and valued, regardless of their gender identity.
